The 2018 boating and golf cart season are here. Attached please find the 2018 Marina and Golf Cart Applications which are due May 15, 2018.

In 2018 the Candlewood Isle Marina & Golf Cart Committee (CIMGCC) completed all the maintenance that needed to be done, i.e., replace anchors, chains, and floats at both the Clubhouse and Tennis Court Marinas. The moorings still need to be aligned and will be done ASAP. The CIMGCC is trying to obtain permission to exchange moorings for slips while adhering to the Candlewood Lake Shoreline Management Plan that will take some more time. Rates will not be raised this year. However, please note that an assessment may take place in order that we raise funds to prepare for further maintenance, possible dock replacement, and adding docks. Also, please note that there is a serious problem with squatters on and around the canoe racks. This year each vessel registered to store a vessel on the canoe racks will receive a sticker that is to be displayed on the bow of each vessel. Any vessel that doesn’t have a sticker will be removed to the storage shed. Any resident on Candlewood Isle that has a vessel that is or isn’t registered are welcome to launch and remove their vessel at the Club House and South End (located on Cove Lane) boat ramps. All non-registered vessels are required to be launched and removed on the same day. Trailers for registered vessels must be stored away from the boat ramps at their own expense. Trailers for non-registered vessels must be stored in the parking lot after launching and be removed from the parking lots after each use.

The CIMCGCC will mail Marina and Golf Cart Applications in the Candlewood Isle Spring Packet and post boat slip assignments, mooring assignments, canoe rack assignments, and all waiting lists on the Candlewood Isle web site at www.candlewoodisle.com. You will be able to download Marina/Golf Cart Applications off the home page. If you wish to contact the Harbormaster for routine requests or to add your name to any of the wait lists, please email John Glynn at [email protected] Be sure to copy any email to the CI Office at [email protected]

Every occupant of a boat slip, mooring, canoe rack, and golf cart owner are responsible for the operation of and securing their vessel and having proof of insurance for golf carts via their boat and home owner’s insurance policy(s).

Residents of Candlewood Isle are very fortunate to have the use of these two Marinas & Golf Carts. The CIMCGCC requests boat slip, mooring, canoe rack occupants, and golf cart operators continue to be courteous and considerate of their fellow neighbors. Therefore; the best method in doing so is to clearly state that you understand and will abide by the Candlewood Isle Rules, Regulations, & acknowledges so by signing the attached waiver to their respective applications.

The Candlewood Isle Harbor Master, Marina/Golf Cart Committee, thanks the numerous volunteers who helped out w/the marinas (of which the list is too long to mention and you know who you are)
